Are HUMANS the new supercomputer?
Quantum Moves game helps map the brain to 'blur the lines
between man and machine'
- The project is being run by the Coder research group at Aarhus University
- It is mapping out how the human brain make decisions based on intuition
- Volunteers are being studied while playing physics game Quantum Moves
- The researchers are then feeding the human strategies back into their algorithm to improve the results and its performance

Today there is an ongoing battle between man and machine.
While genuine machine consciousness is still years into the future, we are beginning to see computers make choices that previously demanded a human's input.
But we are not beaten yet - humans are still superior in some areas and researchers in Denmark have developed a scheme that is mapping the human brain to blur the lines between the two.

'It may sound dramatic, but we are currently in a race with technology - and steadily being overtaken in many areas,' said Danish physicist Jacob Sherson.
'Features that used to be uniquely human are fully captured by contemporary algorithms.
'Our results are here to demonstrate that there is still a difference between the abilities of a man and a machine.'
